What is BPH?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men age. BPH is very common, affecting nearly 40 million Americans and 500 million men worldwide. More than 40% of men in their 50s and more than 70% of men in their 60s have BPH.¹ While BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect a man's quality of life.

The UroLift^® System

The UroLift^® System treatment offers rapid, lasting relief from BPH. Tiny implants are used to hold open the obstructed pathway that blocks urine flow. Unlike medications, the UroLift System treatment addresses the blockage directly, offering a mechanical solution to a mechanical problem.

Most men living with BPH symptoms take prescription medications after they’re diagnosed, although these often don’t provide adequate relief and may cause dizziness, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction.²

The UroLift System is a treatment option for men looking for relief from BPH symptoms. It involves no ongoing BPH medication, no cutting, heating, or removal of tissue, and can be done under local anesthesia in less than an hour.³
